Hi fellow aussies, Ive searched everywhere for an air con evaporator and expansion valve for my 1990 GTO. Ive found out the hard way the usa 3000gt one wont fit. Found a couple wreckers with 2nd hand ones but they want 200 - 300, and my auto leccy says not to touch a 2nd hand evaporator. If anyone knows where to source one of these it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Richard

Try Parts -Rockville Mitsubishi, Rockville, Maryland (MD)

Enter 1991 for model year as US defines a 1990 to us as a 1991

Ausgt3, thanks, price i have been qouted ex japan is $1500, really dont want to pay nowhere near that much. ozdave, thanks for your help but the usa sites are useless, left hand drive units only and yes they are different, I have one sitting beside me which is useless to me.

wow that's crazy

I have an original left hand drive purchased in the USA, shipped to Oz and then converted to RH drive. Never had a problem with parts!

So oz is your evap box under your steering wheel? Instead of behind the glovebox?

I have not looked at the car; but looking at the workshop manual I suspect you win!
